Photo Critique #2

Critique Assignment #2

Photograph #1: I chose to take a picture of three posts for my depth in field shot. I felt that the simplicity of the three posts gave a clear perception of the depth by my focusing on the first pole and still capturing the poles behind the first. I took the picture at an angle to make sure that the other poles were visible. The position of the poles away from any other attention grabbing objects I felt would help in identifying the depth perception.

Photograph #2: For this depth in field photograph I chose to take a picture of three trees that were in line. Again I focused on the first tree closest to me so that again I could capture the depth in field. I chose these trees from my neighborhood park that my daughter and I like to walk to. I used different apertures to show how it made a difference on what you meant to draw attention to. There is more clarity in what I focused in on with the different apertures.

Photograph #3: I took this picture of moving cars while sitting in one position while the car passed by the park. I chose to take this picture to capture an everyday motion that we see each day. We spend hours in our cars and thought this would be a perfect example of motion. I used different shutter speeds to try and capture the motion.

Photograph #4: My second photo is a picture of my daughter running on the track. We enjoy walking and running while at the park and decided this was the perfect opportunity of capturing motion with the camera. I think the best setting for this photo will be F8 @ 1/250. I also attempted panning to see if I could pick up some streaks with the motion.
